Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

Defending is ok, they can't attack is the problem

Midfield is your problem just like in 2021 and 2018, to easily you get dominated there

Midfield is a mess, all to try and fit the media darling in who’s little boy lost.

Like watching us at times, set up like a polo with just hoof balls from back to front up to DCL except this time Kane is playing left back.

Quicker they’re out, quicker we can get back to moaning about PSR

 

[Willie Thorne]

Southgate isn't the sort to bang a few heads together at half time, he's probably gone for a poo. So frustrating to watch.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Before the game.

And still this.

Patentic from Southgate the big gorm.

He's setup to contain. It's well too deep.

Players aren't used to how Southgate is asking them to play.

Clown.

He’s taken this team as far as he is capable. We need fresh ideas.

 

[matty1878]

I know you despise them but ze Germans look strong and France has a team of demons running around assuming Mbappe is fit again. They’ve both impressed me.

germany haven’t played anyone good

the only way they go far is home
nation momentum

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Part of the problem may be that he used to having a leftback behind him and a team that plays flowing football.

Very true. Not much is coming off for him either. Probably magnifies the errors more in this team as well.

 

[Librarian]

No midfield

 

[miami]

Rice is good at his defensive duties in mid-field, but you also have to be able to pass the ball forward at times from that position. He always passes it backwards or sideways. Doesn’t play at a high enough tempo.

 

[Nymzee]

Get Gordon on

 

[dublinbluenose]

Get Arnold off, stick Bellingham in the middle and throw Toney on.

Job's a goodun

Nah, they got good team, Kroos, Gundogan, Musiala, Wirtz are brilliant
Kroos type player is just what you miss

Also in Qatar in 2022 Autumn

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Get Arnold off FFS.

Get a left winger on.

Get Foden central.

It's not hard.

 

[14_dollars]

Terrence Trent Derby is hopeless.

Doesn't want it in tight spaces so short passing moves either break down or go backwards.

Hes in the team to very occassionally take the ball when he's got loads of space to play 50:50 Hollywood balls.

Southgate has to hold his hands up, apologise and take him off.

 

[Azza]

No midfield

There is about 5 midfielders, problem is they're all sitting on the edge of their own area.
